Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade choco-package-deprecater -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade choco-package-deprecater -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description


choco://choco-package-deprecater

To use choco:// protocol URLs, install (unofficial) choco:// Protocol support


Screenshot of (unofficial) Chocolatey Package Deprecater/Retirer (Script)

choco-package-deprecater (CDEPRECATE) is a PowerShell script I designed for Chocolatey package maintainers/creators to easily deprecate or retire a package. Probably not something you have to do often but CDEPRECATE will save you the time of finding and re-reading the Chocolatey docs.

FEATURES:

  • CDEPRECATE rewrites a .nuspec file modifying it ready for deprecation or retirement.
  • CDEPRECATE backups up your original .nuspec file, always!
  • CDEPRECATE will create the necessary chocolateyInstall.ps1 for retired packages.
  • CDEPRECATE can add a "cute" iconUrl.

Helps make packaging Chocolateasy!

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • CDEPRECATE -help for help with options and switches

  • 2022.03.15 - Updated messages with markdown that are incompatible with the Sept. 2019 changes to chocolatey.org, set requireLicenseAcceptance to false to avoid schema error (new behavior?), -addicon will now work if iconUrl was originally blank; changed iconUrl to use CDN URLs, now won't add [DEPRECATED] or [RETIRED] if you run cdeprecate a 2nd time, implemented a config file and defaults, now removes "shim" when uninstalled, updated Chocolatey's DEPRECATE A PACKAGE URL
  • 2019.09.03 - initial release. Does most of what's needed. Finishing touches and improvements to come. MIWMIP - "Make it work. Make it pretty."
